Justin Bieber Posts Beer Pic On Instagram

Thirsty much, Justin? The 19-year-old (repeat, 19) singer posted a picture of himself and one of his BFFs kicking back with a cold one in South Africa. Do you think he’s partying too hard again?

It looks like Justin Bieberhas figured out one of the biggest perks for teenagers traveling abroad — the legal drinking age is lower than 21! The Biebs showed all his fans that he was enjoying the more lenient drinking laws of South Africa on May 10 by posting a picture of himself and Lil Za with ice cold beers in hand.

Justin Bieber Poses With A Beer

“Beers in the jungle,” Justin wrote along with the pic. The Biebs isn’t pictured sipping the beer but Lil Za is definitely getting his chug on. For beer enthusiasts, it appears that the two are drinking Amstel Lagers.

Based on another photo Justin posted on Instagram — a cool closeup shot of an elephant — the Bieber crew was spending a day off from the “Believe” tour by going on a safari trip in the jungle. Nothing like taking a break from the hot South African safari sun with an ice cold beer, right?

Justin’s obviously psyched to be able to express his manliness by having a beer, and there’s nothing wrong with it — South Africa’s legal drinking age is 18.

Justin Bieber: Is It Okay He’s Drinking?

Some might criticize Justin for being a party animal (safari joke!) because of this picture, but he’s only doing what so many 18 to 20-year-old Americans have done before him — that is, travel to a foreign country to legally drink. It’s just plain fun, after being denied so many times in the US, to order a beer without question somewhere else.

And it’s not like this is the first time — in July 2012, Justin and Selena Gomezreportedly had a dinner date full of drinks in Australia, where the drinking age is also 18.

Though the psychoanalysts in us want to talk about how this picture is another example of Justin being in too much of a rush to grow up — it’s just one beer! Enjoy the suds, Bieber! That being said — follow the rules when you get back to the States, young man.
